Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha expects the upcoming 12th Apec High‐Level Meeting on Health and the Economy to serve as a global forum to discuss medical innovations and measures to strike a balance between public health security and economic recovery.
Running from tomorrow until Friday, and also known as Thailand's first Apec Health Week, the meeting will be attended by more than 150 health ministers and high-level health officials from Apec countries, said government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri yesterday.
Gen Prayut believes the meeting will be fruitful and its outcome will benefit Thailand's ambition to become a regional medical hub, he said.
